Moving the Tub into the Basement

My brother came over to help with the house last weekend, so we went to Rona to pick up the bathtub for the basement. Julian had previously helped me move the clawfoot tub upstairs, so I could tell he wasn't looking forward to that task, but he soon learned that acrylic tubs are not nearly as heavy as their cast iron counterparts. The tub we selected is kind of big (8" wider than a standard tub), so I knew that moving it into the basement would be tricky. It did not fit into the side door, so we had to move the fridge out of the way and carry it down the empty abyss where we once had basement stairs. Kudos to our kitchen designers who suggested having the fridge space accessible like this for moving things into the basement. Not-so-kudos to us for not having cleaned under our fridge in two years.



The tub is now sitting in the basement patiently waiting to be installed.
